Description

Delbridge House is a house dating from the early 18th century and early 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in a header bond pattern, with grey brick detailing. The roof is covered in plain tiles. The house has two storeys, a basement, and an attic, and sits upon a plinth with red brick quoins and a moulded plat band. A moulded wooden eaves cornice with modillions sits above the hipped roof, which features two pedimented dormers and stacks positioned to the left and right.

The fenestration is regular: five sash windows with glazing bars on the first floor, with gauged and triple-keyed heads and panels of grey brick headers below. On the ground floor, there are four sash windows with glazing bars and gauged heads. Basement openings are located to the left and right. The central front door consists of six raised and fielded panels, topped by a traceried semi-circular fanlight within a moulded and keyed surround, incorporating fluted Corinthian pilasters, an entablature, blocks, and a pediment, and is approached by two moulded steps.

Two-storey bows, constructed in grey and red brick, were added to the left and right returns sometime after 1806. The bow to the left features French windows with curved sliding shutters. An early 19th-century wing extends to the rear of the property, featuring margin light sash windows.

It experiences an average of 10 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 90% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
